REAR PASSENGER DOOR WOULD NOT LOCK CAUSING AUTOMATIC LOCKS TO TRY TO RE-LOCK EVERY TIME I RESUMED DRIVING AFTER A STOP LIGHT/SIGN. I WAS UNABLE TO LOCK THE DOOR WITH THE DRIVER'S DOOR LOCK BUTTON, REMOTE, OR MANUALLY. THE PROBLEM HAS CONTINUED AND THE MAJORITY OF THE TIME THE DOOR IS UNLOCKED, BUT OCCASIONALLY, THE DOOR WILL LOCK ITSELF AND I AM UNABLE TO OPEN IT VIA REMOTE, DRIVER'S DOOR BUTTON, OR MANUALLY. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THE DOOR IS PERMANENTLY LOCKED OR UNLOCKED, PUTTING PASSENGERS AT RISK EITHER WAY. *JS

MY REAR PASSENGER DOOR LOCKS STARTED TO MAKE A WHIRRING NOISE WHEN THE AUTOMATIC 9MPH DESIGNED LOCK SYSTEM ENGAGED AND ALSO ANYTIME I LOCKED MY DOORS. I DISENGAGED THE AUTOMATIC 9MPH DESIGNED LOCK. BUT IT STILL DOES THIS WHEN I LOCK THE VEHICLE WITH MY KEY. AT TIMES IT ALSO LOCKS AND UNLOCKS WHEN I AM DRIVING. SINCE MY INSPECTION WAS DUE SHORTLY I WAITED TO HAVE IT REPAIRED. WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE HONDA DEALER THEY QUOTED ME APPROX $350.00 TO REPAIR. SINCE I DID NOT HAVE THE MONEY AT THAT TIME I ASK IF IT WOULD HURT TO LEAVE AS IS FOR AWHILE, THEY ADVISED ME NO, BUT AT SOME POINT I MAY NOT BE ABLE TO LOCK ON UNLOCK THE PASSENGER DOOR. I THEN LOOKED ONLINE AND SAW ALL THE PROBLEMS EVERYONE WAS HAVING WITH THIS SAME ISSUE. I CONFRONTED THE DEALER AND HE SAID IT WAS THE ACTUATOR AND I ASK HIM WHEN HONDA WAS GOING TO HAVE A RECALL. HE SAID IT IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE, SO MOST LIKELY THERE WILL BE NO RECALL. I HAVE 38, 000 MILES ON MY VEHICLE AND DO ALL THE MAINTENANCE AS REQUIRED.

YESTERDAY, AFTER RETURNING HOME, I TRIED TO OPEN THE TRUNK OF MY CRV. IT WOULD NOT RELEASE USING EITHER THE KEY-BASED UNLOCKING MECHANISM OR BY USING THE INTERIOR LOCKING SYSTEM. UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION, I DISCOVERED THAT THE LEFT, REAR PASSENGER DOOR WAS ALSO UNABLE TO UNLOCK THROUGH ANY MEANS. THE TRUNK AND THE DOOR WERE, EFFECTIVELY, FROZEN IN PLACE. I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR INTO HONDA SERVICE TODAY (RON TONKIN HONDA IN PORTLAND) AND THEY ARE UNABLE TO UNLOCK THE LEFT, REAR PASSENGER DOOR OR TRUNK THROUGH MANIPULATION OF THE VEHICLES COMPUTER. THIS WILL NECESSITATE THE REMOVAL, AND LIKELY BRAKING, OF THE DOOR'S PANEL, WHICH THEY ESTIMATED WILL COST OVER $1000, NOT COUNTING THE REPLACEMENT OF THE DOORS ACTUATOR, WHICH IS WHAT HAS LIKELY FAILED. IN AN EMERGENCY SITUATION, THIS KIND OF FAILURE WOULD LEAD TO A SITUATION WHERE SOMEONE COULD NOT BE ABLE TO EXIT THE CAR OR SOMEONE WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO ENTER THE CAR TO ASSIST AN INJURED PASSENGER. MY 3 YEAR OLD RIDES IN THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE EVERY DAY AND THIS SCENARIO IS TERRIFYING TO ME. BASED ON MY READING, I SEE THAT THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS OF THIS ISSUE (INCLUDING A CLASS-ACTION LAWSUIT IN NEWARK, NJ), BUT NO RECALL OR ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN ISSUED BY HONDA.

THE AUTOMATIC DOOR LOCKS CONTINUALLY LOCK AND UNLOCK THEMSELVES. EACH TIME I RESTART THE CAR, THE DOOR LOCKS WILL AUTOMATICALLY LOCK. AFTER A FEW MINUTES, THEY WILL UNLOCK BY THEMSELVES. *TR

FRONT DRIVERS SIDE AND FRONT PASSENGER DOOR LOCKS DID NOT ACTIVATE PER DESIGN WHEN REACHING SPEED OF 9 MPH. CONSIDER THIS TO BE A SAFETY PROBLEM IN THAT DRIVER OR PASSENGER COULD OPEN DOORS WHILE TRAVELING AT HIGH RATES OF SPEED OR IN CASE OF ACCIDENT DOORS COULD OPEN EXPOSING DRIVER OR PASSENGER TO HARM. *TR

LEFT REAR DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR DID NOT LOCK AFTER 9 MPH PER DESIGN. BELIEVE THIS TO BE A SAFETY ISSUE IN THAT PASSENGER IN LEFT REAR CAN OPEN DOOR WHILE TRAVELING AT HIGH SPEEDS. *TR

IN JANUARY OF 2011 THE POWER DOOR LOCKS ON MY HONDA CRV STARTED CLICKING AT 10 MPH--BY FEBRUARY OF 2011, THE DOORS STARTED LOCKING ON ME SECONDS AFTER I REMOTELY UNLOCKED THE DOOR--SOMETIMES NOT EVEN LETTING ME OPEN THE DOOR AND GET INTO THE CAR. I HAD AN INCIDENT IN MID FEBRUARY, WHEN THE DOOR BLEW CLOSED WITH THE KEY IN THE IGNITION, MY PURSE AND CELL PHONE IN THE CAR--AND LOCKED ME OUT OF THE CAR--THANKFULLY MY SUNROOF WAS OPEN AND ALL 63 YEARS OF ME HAD TO CLIMB INTO THE CAR THROUGH THE SUNROOF. NEXT DAY WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALER, WHO REPLACED THE ACTUATOR ON THE DRIVER DOOR. ALMOST TWO YEARS LATER IN MAY OF 2013 IT STARTED ALL OVER AGAIN--THIS TIME THE REAR DOOR BEHIND THE DRIVER. THE FIRST TIME IT COST US $282--THIS LAST TIME IT WAS $244. WE HAVE TWO MORE DOORS TO GO AND ANOTHER LADY SAID SHE HAD ALL OF THEM REPLACED AND IT COST HER $900.--THIS IS DEFINITELY A DEFECT IN THESE CARS, AND HONDA SHOULD HAVE A RECALL AND REIMBURSE WHAT WE HAD TO PAY! *TR

AFTER UNLOCKING DOOR WITH SWITCH OR KEYFOB ALL DOORS WILL START TO LOCK THEMSELVES. MY WIFE AND DAUGHTER WERE IN THE CAR AND COULDN'T FIGURE OUT HOW TO GET OUT. I'M CONCERNED THIS IS A POTENTIAL SAFETY ISSUE AS THEY CAN'T GET OUT IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENT. THE DEALER TESTED IT AND CONFIRMED THERE WAS A SHORT IN THE MASTER WINDOW SWITCH AND COULD BE A SHORT IN THE MICU MULTI-PLEX BODY CONTROL UNIT. FIRST RECOMMENDED TO REPLACE THE MASTER WINDOW SWITCH ($400) AND THEN THE OTHER PART IF THAT DOESN'T WORK. *TR
